Lawyers for former FBI agent John Connolly are challenging his murder conviction using a handwritten manuscript from the late mobster James Whitey Bulger. The manuscript, hidden by prosecutors for years, suggests Bulger got key tips from another agent, not Connolly. Connolly, now eighty five, was convicted for the 1982 killing of businessman John Callahan. The new evidence surfaced after a prosecutor resigned amid misconduct claims, and Connollys team got a letter revealing a sealed envelope with the materials. Connolly served part of a forty year sentence before compassionate release in 2021 due to terminal illness and COVID risks. His lawyers accuse prosecutors of broader violations, hoping to finally clear his name.
